So far so good

Hello!
Ever since I got this new idea for a story I have been really inspired to write. However, I do know myself, and I am not very good with follow through. I am, however, VERY good at achieving goals I set for myself. Therefore I have set myself a goal of writing one page a day. I realize that to write an entire novel this goal will have me writing for a very long time. I do plan on upping the goal, to lets say maybe 1,000 words a day? The further I get in my story the more I may write in one sitting. And as all of my fellow writers might know, once writing sometimes it is hard to stop if you have a really good idea and just need to get it down as quickly as possible.
I have also set a possible finish goal for myself, which is the end of the summer. This would the be the first novel I fully finish (if you do not count the semi-autobiographical piece of crap I wrote 5 years ago, that I am too afraid to go back to). So I do not know if setting a finish deadline is a good idea, but seeing that I do not have a great record of actually finishing things I figured it migth be a good idea.
Anyway, so far I have kept to my page a day goal, however it has only been four days, so I still have a long ways to go.
